I missed day 6 first pack taking microgestin fe 1/20
The next day I took the one for the day I missed and that day. I'm on my second pack. I haven't missed a pill since that first time but I got my period a week earlier and I'm still on it. I was supposed to get my period this past sunday and I got it last week Sunday. So I've been in my period now for 11 days. Is this Normal? I've been feeling really different lately.
I've been having like hot flashes
My house temperature is at 70F and that's be perfectly fine with me and now I'm sweating bullets. I don't know if these pills are making me having these symptoms as well as back pain, nausea in the afternoon (I taken mine after 1 pm) feeling really tired lately as well. I'm an active person work out everyday but lately 30 mintues of cardio is too much for me. I don't know if I could be pregnant or it's the pills that are making me feel this way and it this Normal?
Missed 1 Microgestin fe1/20 days it's effective after taking it full week? I missed 1 pill day 6?

If you just started it its normal to have bleeding like that. The hot flashes are hormonal. Its the side effect from the pills. I'd check in with my dr if the hormonal effects keep bothering you. He may want to change your pill. No you're not pregnant, not doing all that bleeding.

Ok good :) I was starting to get a little worried
I called my clinic and got forwarded to a nurse and she told me the same thing. She also told me by month 4 using these pills I shouldn't have these symptoms :) takes a lot of stress off my shoulders
Since I know I've taken them the same time daily with the exception of one day but I took both dose day I missed and for that day.
